Navy Revokes Honorary Title for Bill Cosby over Sexual Assault Reports 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


 
The Navy has revoked the honorary title it gave to comedian Bill Cosby
in the latest fallout from reports he drugged and sexually assaulted
women for decades. More than 20 women have accused Cosby of assaulting
them. The Navy, which awarded Cosby the title of chief petty officer in
2011, after some of the victims had already come forward, said in a
statement that Cosby's actions were "very serious and in conflict with
the Navy's core values."
